What it does

Pharmacy Counselling Script is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write the counselling a patient will actually follow when collecting a new or changed medicine — what it is for, how to take it, what to expect, and the one thing that would make them stop. Use when asked to write patient counselling, counsel on a new prescription, explain a medicine to a patient, or improve adherence at the counter. Produces the counselling script in plain language, the teach-back questions, the red-flag advice, the adherence anticipation, and the documentation line. A communication framework…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Plain language and style rules. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to write patient counselling
  • Counsel on a new prescription
  • Explain a medicine to a patient
  • Improve adherence at the counter

Example prompts

  • “/pharmacy-counselling-script”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Purpose first, in their words. 'This is to bring your blood pressure down' — not the drug class. A patient who cannot say what a medicine…
  2. How, tied to something they already do. 'With breakfast' beats 'once daily'. Anchor the dose to an existing habit.
  3. What to expect, including the unpleasant part. The side effect you do not mention is the one that stops the therapy. Name the common…
  4. The stop-signal. One clear thing that means contact us. One — a list of seven is a list of none.
  5. Teach-back, not 'any questions?'. Ask them to tell you when they will take it and what they will do if they miss one. This is the only…
  6. Anticipate the drop-off. Name the likely reason this patient stops and address it in a sentence before they leave.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Pharmacy Counselling Script loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 165 tokens; SKILL.md has 760 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~165
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Write the counselling a patient will actually follow when collecting a new or changed medicine — what it is for, how to take it, what to expect, and the one thing that would make them stop. Use when asked to write patient counselling, counsel on a new prescription, explain a medicine to a patient, or improve adherence at the counter. Produces the counselling script in plain language, the teach-back questions, the red-flag advice, the adherence anticipation, and the documentation line. A communication framework for a licensed pharmacist; it makes no clinical determination and substitutes for no product-specific information.

Pharmacy Counselling Script

Most counselling fails not because the pharmacist said the wrong thing but because they said fourteen things in ninety seconds, at a counter, to someone holding a bag and thinking about parking. This picks the three that change behaviour, phrases them so the patient can repeat them back, and anticipates the specific reason this particular patient will stop taking it.

What This Skill Produces

  • The counselling script — purpose, administration, expectation, and the stop-signal, in plain language
  • The three-thing rule applied — what to say when there is only time for three sentences
  • Teach-back questions — the two questions that reveal whether the patient actually understood
  • Red-flag advice — what would mean contact us or seek urgent care, stated without alarming
  • Adherence anticipation — the most likely reason this patient stops, and the sentence that pre-empts it
  • The documentation line — what was counselled and what the patient demonstrated back

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The medicine and the change — new start, dose change, formulation switch, or a generic substitution the patient will notice
  • The patient — age, comprehension, language, sensory needs, and who actually administers the dose
  • The context — other medicines, what this replaces, and any prior bad experience with this class
  • The practical realities — dosing times, food requirements, storage, and what happens if a dose is missed
  • Scope constraints — what your jurisdiction and the product information allow you to advise on

Framework: Three Things, Then Teach-Back

  1. Purpose first, in their words. 'This is to bring your blood pressure down' — not the drug class. A patient who cannot say what a medicine is for stops taking it first.
  2. How, tied to something they already do. 'With breakfast' beats 'once daily'. Anchor the dose to an existing habit.
  3. What to expect, including the unpleasant part. The side effect you do not mention is the one that stops the therapy. Name the common, transient one and say how long it usually lasts.
  4. The stop-signal. One clear thing that means contact us. One — a list of seven is a list of none.
  5. Teach-back, not 'any questions?'. Ask them to tell you when they will take it and what they will do if they miss one. This is the only step that measures understanding.
  6. Anticipate the drop-off. Name the likely reason this patient stops and address it in a sentence before they leave.

Output Format

Show full SKILL.md (363 more words)Show less
Counselling: [medicine] · [patient] · [pharmacist] · [date]

Purpose (their words): [what it is for, said the way you would to a friend]

How to take it: [dose, timing anchored to a daily habit, with or without food, what to do about a missed dose]

What to expect: [the common transient effect, how long it usually lasts, and what improvement looks like and when]

Contact us if: [the single clear stop-signal] · Seek urgent care if: [the emergency signal, if any]

Teach-back:

  • "When will you take this?" → [what the patient said]
  • "What will you do if you miss one?" → [what the patient said]

Likely reason for stopping: [the anticipated drop-off] · Addressed by: [the sentence used]

Documented: counselled on [items] · teach-back [satisfactory / repeated / interpreter used] · written information supplied [Y/N]

A communication framework for a licensed pharmacist. It does not determine appropriateness, dose, or interaction for any individual, and it does not replace the approved product information or your local counselling requirements. Verify every product-specific statement against current references before it reaches a patient.

Quality Checks

  • The purpose is stated in the patient's language, not the drug class
  • Dosing is anchored to an existing daily habit
  • One common side effect is named honestly, with its usual duration
  • There is exactly one clear stop-signal, not a list
  • Teach-back is used rather than 'any questions?'
  • The likely reason for discontinuation is anticipated and addressed
  • Counselling and teach-back outcome are documented

Anti-Patterns

  • Reciting the leaflet. Complete, unmemorable, and worse than three sentences.
  • 'Any questions?' Almost always answered 'no', and proves nothing.
  • Hiding the common side effect. The patient discovers it at home and stops the medicine.
  • Seven warning signs. Nobody retains seven; give one and it might be acted on.
  • Counselling the wrong person. If a carer administers the dose, the counselling belongs to them.
  • Skipping the interpreter. Comprehension you assumed is comprehension you did not check.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write counselling for a patient starting metformin"
  • "How do I counsel on a new inhaler at the counter?"
  • "Patient is switching to a generic and is worried — what do I say?"
  • "Write a teach-back script for a new anticoagulant"
  • "How do I improve adherence for a patient who keeps stopping their statin?"
